up_the_irons: jlgaddis: so ESXi isn't Linux based in some way? (I know jack about VMware)
gluffis: kernel is based on linux... Redhat from the beginning as as i know
wonder if I shall upgrade my vps to a newer openbsd ;)
up_the_irons: i would imagine vmware would have some megaraid compatible binary
gluffis: there is pretty good HCL's at vmware
but yes, megaraid seems reasonable
jlgaddis: Well, I think I found a solution, been working on that for a bit... except I just rebooted the physical host and now I can't connect to it. :/
up_the_irons: ouch
jlgaddis: Oh hell, there it comes
I swear that was the longest fuckin' reboot ever.
mercutio: jlg: raid controllers always maek reboots take a bit longer
jlg: but yeah, esxi does seem to make things complicated, enough so that i just pointed you at what i found rather than trying to understand it :)
jlg: some people advocate passing raid controllers through to openindiana, using vt-d, (hardware passthrough) and then exporting storage to esxi
which to me seems complicated and messy
but you'd have normal cli program in that situation
jlgaddis: I could ping it for about eight minutes before the vSphere Client would finally connect.
mercutio: oh what
i've never seen that
jlgaddis: Apparently I can manage this LSI card from other hosts once I have this agent/CIM/VIB/WTFever it's called installed.
mercutio: jlg: cool. well if you can get there, up_the_irons seems to know what command to do to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish
which in itself is a nightmare
-: gluffis remembers the first reboot of a Sun E4000... 15 minutes before anything on the console...
mercutio: including serial?
i like it how computers are finally getting faster at booting though
like the new motherboards most of them boot really quickly for desktops now
haven't seen a quick server bootup yet, but i'ms ure it'll come...
it's kind of bizzare that it seems to have never been a selling point of servers any time recently that they boot quickly
cos when things are meant to run 24/7
the boottime can be a real pita
and failover is complicated
jlgaddis: Well, when you only reboot them once a year or two, a few minutes difference doesn't really matter.
mercutio: if people are using services on them it still sucks
but yeah they shouldn't reboot :)
there's also things like linux doesn't do parallel scans by default
well not on ahci
you have to pass some ahci_disable_sss or something parameter
up_the_irons: for something that doesn't get rebooted often, a few minutes doesn't matter, like jlgaddis said
mercutio: i hate my irc machine rebooting :)
it doesn't reconnect etc
but yeah for most things i suppose it doesn't matter too mcuh
and for that, i don't really care about duration, i'm more annoyed about a reset at all
i think vmware vmotion is meant to be able to fix those kinds of problems
but cost lots of money
it's one reason i'm hesitant to irc from home

mikeputnam: mercutio: run your irssi inside tmux from your always-up arp host, then just connect to it from whereever you are
then you only go down when freenode splits ;)
RandalSchwartz: that's what I do. :)
except I run irc.el inside emacs inside tmux
toddf: mikeputnam: the other time you go down is when v6 breaks
I wish so badly that irssi had the ability to do getaddrinfo and just iterate over the AF's instead of favoring v4 only or v6 only and no choice inbetween
twobithacker: is there a significant advantage to tmux over screen?
I use mosh to connect to my VM, running irssi in screen
toddf: twobithacker: performance and size and license, the fact that it comes by default in openbsd w/out adding extra packages seems to be good for me also
mikeputnam: the tmux source is a beautiful thing. just like openbsd. the same cannot be said for screen.
screen has inertia on it's side
just like microsoft software

you can't ever get me to go back to screen now

dat bsd license

if you read that out it sounds wrong
nothing is greater than screen
staticsafe: :)
mercutio: screen < 0
mikeputnam: the absence of value is greater than screen perhaps?
mercutio: maybe that's a better way to put it
RandalSchwartz: absence of value?
tmux just rocks
people should just ignore screen
